Hello. I have La compañía tenebrosa, in Spanish, though. How should I send a scan?

The Dark Company was available in Spanish? Cool!

Traditionally, scans have been 300 DPI and booklet-style, which involves removing the staples and scanning each sheet front and back. PDF format or individual PNG files tend to work best (JPEG messes up text!)

Now we just need to get drathe's attention. :D If drathe is on autopilot for the time being, I'd be happy to make sure it gets into lots of hands!

I never owned Hero Quest as a kid (but my brother did). I bought my own copy of the game system about four years ago now, and bought two other game systems (gifted away to friends and family), and I recently bought Kellar's Keep and Return of the Witch Lord.

I have the novels, and that was an extravagance, but for fun I did track down a few red and black mercenaries and a red ogre. Otherwise that's enough for me. The rest I have re-created using other pieces.

iKarith's advice is spot on. I'd add you can send a PM to drathe. He's the one who adds those things to the Inn. He's busy, but I imagine he'd be interested.

The English version of Dark Company was just a poster that folded up, wasn't it? So maybe easier to scan (in sections) than your traditional booklet, unless this version was packaged differently.

I haven't seen the original, but if the British version is anything to go on, yes, I'd actually use the corners of the scanning bed to line up each corner of the poster and scan 8 PNG files, rotate and reassemble using the fold lines to hide any sins, and put together two large 300 DPI images and ask drathe to assemble these into a PDF since he's obviously done it before. :D

Be sure to check out Phoenix's re-creations (and the thread fixing the phoenix quests here on the forum!)

I know, having the real thing is best, but not everybody is so lucky!

The nice thing about the Inn are the resources here. The only thing missing from the expansions are the figures, but you can always use stand-in replacements for them. Like Kurgan said, the real thing is the best but you can still experience the quests.
